Health Center Plan

The Health Center Plan will offer health centers in the Fort Worth area that are exclusively available to city employees, retirees and their dependents. These centers will provide unlimited primary care services for employees during normal business hours, and which may include extended business hours in some locations. Employees can expect to receive an appointment on the same or next business day for sick visits.

Specialists will be available at various costs, depending upon their participation in the United Healthcare – Choice Network and whether or not they are a premium or a non-premium provider.
